Frequently asked questions
How do I start managing my agency via AI?
Subscribe, enter your API credentials (your Personal Access Token from Settings → API integrations, and your Organization ID found in your URL), and you're ready. No code, no SDK, no webhooks — just connect and start asking your agent for budget burn rates.
Can my AI agent flag budgets that are running low?
Yes. Ask your agent to query all active budgets and run an analysis on hours tracked versus hours allocated. The agent reads the budget payloads securely and identifies any project that sits beyond 80% profitability burn rate before you even open a spreadsheet.
What happens when I need to verify timesheets for billing?
Just tell your AI agent to fetch recent time entries. It compiles exactly who logged what task across which services, helping you spot unassigned hours or missing descriptions instantly, saving the operations team hours of manual monthly audits.
Is this capable of helping me track sales metrics?
Absolutely. Ask your agent to list active deals and client companies. In a single prompt, you can see your entire sales pipeline, match deals to recent activities, and prepare for management syncs — perfectly suited for agency owners tracking rapid growth.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
